Mario Goetze/NIKE Undercuts Adidas

Battle of the brands? This is not boot related but it is footy related.

The club because of the adidas affiliation were forced to apologize to adidas. Hats off to the marketing rep from Nike who told Mr. Goetze to wear the shirt for the presentation. It’s always about the product placement…
